Mobile Application
Testing
Static and dynamic security assessment of iOS and Android applications — covering client-side vulnerabilities, insecure storage, authentication flaws, and backend API weaknesses against OWASP MASVS.
Mobile applications handle sensitive data, communicate with backend APIs, and often store credentials or tokens locally — making them a high-value target. Our mobile application testing covers both the client-side application and its backend services, providing a complete picture of your mobile attack surface.
We test against the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and the associated Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG), ensuring comprehensive coverage aligned to industry standards. Both iOS and Android are supported, including cross-platform frameworks.
Mobile testing requires specialist tooling and techniques — SSL pinning bypass, binary analysis, runtime instrumentation, and physical device testing. Our operators have the expertise and equipment to test real devices under real conditions.
Static Analysis (SAST)
Decompilation and reverse engineering of the application binary. Review of source code (where available) or decompiled output for hardcoded secrets, insecure cryptography, dangerous permissions, and vulnerable third-party libraries.
Dynamic Analysis (DAST)
Runtime testing using instrumentation frameworks (Frida, Objection) to analyse application behaviour, intercept function calls, bypass SSL pinning, hook sensitive functions, and test runtime security controls in a real device environment.
Data Storage & Privacy
Review of local data storage — SQLite databases, SharedPreferences/NSUserDefaults, Keychain/KeyStore, log files, and the application's cache — for sensitive data stored insecurely on the device.
Network Communication
Interception of all application network traffic via proxy to test for insecure transmission, weak certificate validation, SSL pinning implementation quality, and sensitive data exposed in transit to first and third-party endpoints.
Authentication & Authorisation
Testing of token handling, session management, biometric authentication bypass, OAuth/OIDC implementation, and access control enforcement between the mobile client and backend APIs across all user roles.
Backend API Testing
Full testing of the mobile application's backend APIs — including endpoints not exposed through web interfaces — for IDOR, injection, authentication bypass, rate limiting weaknesses, and business logic flaws.
Reporting & Remediation
Technical report with platform-specific remediation guidance, proof-of-concept evidence, and MASVS control mapping. Debrief call with your mobile development team to walk through findings and fix approaches.
Mobile testing requires hands-on expertise that goes beyond automated scanning. Our operators use real devices and specialist tooling to test under real-world conditions — including certificate pinning bypass, binary reverse engineering, and runtime instrumentation.
We test the backend APIs exposed to your mobile application, not just the app itself. In our experience, the most significant vulnerabilities in mobile ecosystems exist in the server-side logic, not the client.
